I plan to make a BIG pot of onion gravy soon. Is there a rule of thumb about the volume and weight relation of sliced onions?

So, my big pot holds about 12l - I'd go for 10l here to have room to stir - if thinly sliced on a mandolin, how many kilograms of onions would that be?

Or, the other way round, if one slices a kilogram of onions, how much volume would that fill?

It's not the shrinkage I'm worried about. I know it shrinks. The question is how many kilos would I have to put through the food processor without the pot flowing over.
